While marakas simply go quite mad, going hell for leather!
We've lost our inhibitions! We've broken a Golden Rule......
Old ladies should be sensible and never play the fool!

*

They talk about second childhood; well, don't dread it anyone!

When you're actually 'in' it you'll have a lot of fun.

*

I have to say I wonder whether the audience has fun!

But they're hauled-in willy-nilly and there's nowhere they can run!

CAPITAL PUNISHMENT.

Growing old is such a joy!
It allows one to annoy
Ignoring other people's regulations!
Take the rules surrounding letters!
I'm told, quite often, by my betters
'Capitals are unmannerly creations!'
*
'When writing emails' so they say
'Don't let Capitals have their way!
You'll be a Flamer and no-one will like you!
You'll be considered very rude
Quite illiterate and crude'.
Well, my friends, so how do those words strike you?
*
I'd really rather like to know
Who made this rule so long ago,
Who sat down and devised this little law?
Some nit-wit in computer school
Said 'I know! Let's make up a rule
While emails are still very new and raw!
*
Let's see how we can do our worst!
Let's ban the Capital letters first
Then move-on to some other mean restriction!'
And now the whole world toes the line
As all emailers combine
Fearing they'll cause some inter-active friction!
*
Well, I'm what's known as 'getting on';
My inhibitions have all gone.'DO YOUR WORST!' I scream with gay abandon.
"Capital letters I enjoy
I'm also aiming to annoy,AND I JUST DON'T CARE WHOSE SILLY RULES I STAND ON!"
